Total Compensation Review Project

Total Compensation Review Project

The City of Calgary regularly reviews elements of its total compensation, including pay and benefits to ensure it can attract and retain talent to meet the needs of Calgarians. In 2020, a larger review was conducted to understand the market positioning for key elements of The City’s total compensation package. As part of this process, an independent consultant was hired to gather data on all employee groups.

Calgarians are encouraged to read the full report that was presented to Council in January 2021 which shows how The City of Calgary compares with similar-sized private and public organizations in the areas of pay, benefits, pensions, and compensation elements. You can also view a one-paged sheet, which summarizes the main findings in the report, and outlines actions now being taken to adjust and improve our total compensation system.

  • Consultant and report data

    The City hired a third-party consultant to conduct a market review of the key components of The City’s total compensation offerings to employees.

  • Determining compensation

    The City of Calgary’s compensation philosophy guides how pay structures are created and managed in the organization in relation to the market.

  • Types of benefits for City employees

    The City’s benefit plans support the wellbeing of employees and their families and are an important part of the compensation package.

  • Types of pensions

    The City’s pension plans are a valuable part of an employee’s total compensation package. There are two types of plans: multi-employer and supplementary.
